Hi Brett, 

I checked out the latest sources from CVS today and tried building the
contents.xml file in the samples directory using both SAXBuilder and
DOMBuilder.  In the case of SAXBuilder, it worked like a charm, but DOMBuilder
choked on the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" org.jdom.JDOMException: The name "ora:category" is
not legal for JDOM/XML attributes: Attribute names cannot contain colons.: The
name "ora:category" is not legal for JDOM/XML attributes: Attribute names cannot
contain colons.
